A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought his paint and brushes and began painting the boat a bright red at the owner's request.

While painting he noticed a small hole in the hull and calmly repaired it. When he finished painting, he received his money and left.

The next day the ship's owner came to the painter and gave him a check that was much larger than the payment for painting the boat. The painter was surprised and said:

You already paid me to paint the ship, sir! But that's not for the paint job. It is intended for repairing the hole in the boat.

But that was just a small service; It's not worth paying me such a large amount for something so insignificant.

My dear friend, you don't understand.
I want to tell you what happened:

When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the hole.

When the boat dried up, my sons took the boat and went fishing. They didn't know there was a hole and I wasn't home at the time.

When I came back and noticed that they had taken the boat, I was distraught because I remembered that the boat had this hole.

Imagine my relief and joy when I saw her returning from fishing. Then I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole!

Do you now understand what you have done?

You saved my children's lives! I don't have enough money to pay for your 'small' good deed.

So no matter who, when or how, help out, listen carefully and carefully repair any “leaks” you find.

We never know when we will be needed or when God will have a nice surprise for us to be useful and important to someone.

Along the way, you may have patched numerous “boat holes” without knowing how many lives you saved.

Let's create a change!
